An FTP server is a server which provides File Transfer Protocol services.
Client-server model
A server host runs one or more server programs which share their resources with clients.
A client does not share any of its resources, but requests a server's content or service function.
Clients therefore initiate communication sessions with servers, while servers await incoming requests.
See Client-server model.
FTP client-server process
An FTP client initiates a session in order to:
- Upload files (send to server)
- Download files (receive from server)
FTP servers await incoming requests, and respond by either:
- Receiving files (from client upload)
- Sending files (to client download)
